Pictures are *not* fun

Here I am, boldly going where every blogger has gone before...embedding pictures in my blog. Sometimes, it's not as easy as it looks. This is the sock yarn from my Secret Knitting Buddy! Hooray!

I continue to be obsessed by my two-sided double knitting. I have finished the border, but it's not pictureworthy yet. K1 P1, knit = front color, purl=back color. It isn't very impressive until there is enough done to flip up one corner so you can see the back is the negative of the front. I am designing the pattern as I go, too, so it is slow going. For the basic cat pattern, I am using a peyote stitch bead pattern I have. Should be cute!

I am the editor of our Hospital Auxiliary cookbook this year. Crock-pot recipes are the theme -- hmm... would rather knit than cook, maybe I'll stick in instructions for how to dye yarn instead!

Hi Andrea,
Just popping by to see how your doing. I hope your week is going well.

I saw you had a blog, and couldn't help but comment! (Of course, we won't tell anyone I know who you are *grin*)

I feel your pain with the whole embedding pictures. I had it down pat at one time, and then typepad changed their format. I DO NOT LIKE IT! It was so much easier the old way, and now I can't figure out how to do pop up pictures. Sigh.

The sock yarn looks yummy!

But not as yummy as all the bath stuff my Knitting Pal sent me *wink*

I just got my package! I haven't had time to put a full post up on my blog but look for one soon! (And the craziest part of it all? The same day I got yours, I also got a package from SKP number 1. Very peculiar.... It had some very nifty stuff in it, too, though, so I'm not about to complain! :) )
